Now the Green Blade Rises Lyrics

Now the green blade rises from the buried grain

When that in dark earth many days has lain

Love lives again, that with the dead has been

Love is come again like wheat arising green

In the grave they laid him, love by hatred slain

Thinking that he would never wake again

Laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen

Love is come again like wheat arising green

Forth he came at Easter like the risen grain

He that for three days in the grave had lain

Raised from the dead, my living Lord is seen

Love is come again like wheat arising green

When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain

Your touch can call us back to life again

Fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been

Love is come again like wheat arising green
